Guy's case of Super Bowl Budweiser rescued
Stranger arrested after police unconvinced he had traded for brew MANDY LOCKE (Raleigh) News & Observer RALEIGH - William White truly worked hard for his Super Bowl brew. He fetched two cases of Budweiser late Saturday and stashed them in the back of his Ford van. Sunday morning, White drove the van to pick up fish and chicken to cook for his family's Super Bowl shindig. As White walked into Larry's Super Market on Raleigh Boulevard, a stranger flagged him down and asked to bum a cigarette. White obliged. The stranger, a man named Eddie Taylor, mumbled something about just getting out of prison and being hungry, White recalled. White, an admitted "sucker," figured he'd hand Taylor a few dollars for a sandwich after he got change in the market. Moments later, White emerged with a loaded cart and spotted Taylor walking away, arms wrapped like he was hugging something. One of White's 24-packs of Bud had vanished. White chased after Taylor. "Yo, give me my beer, man," White said he ordered Taylor. "I told him, `You'd have been better off asking me for beer. I can't drink all 48. I'd a given you a few.' " White said Taylor insisted the beer was his and walked away with it. White didn't want to risk a brawl and called 911. Then he hopped in his van and trailed Taylor, rolling a few feet behind so as not to spook him. "He was just walking like a zombie with my beer in his hand," White said. Police tracked Taylor down a few blocks away in Washington Terrace apartments in Southeast Raleigh. Taylor swore he'd swapped a rock of crack for the $13 case of beer. Raleigh police didn't buy it. They handed White back his case of beer. An officer then hauled Taylor to jail where a magistrate gently scolded him for stealing a man's beer on Super Bowl Sunday. "Shame on you," Wake County Magistrate M.D. Congleton said as she shook her head and read him his rights for breaking into White's van and stealing. Taylor couldn't believe his luck. A night in jail for a case of beer, he asked. Finally, Taylor shrugged, turned to a jailer and said "Go ahead and fix me a plate then." ![]()
